Still have some problems but here's where I'm at. EFI at this point has new pressure regulator, new thermo-time switch, new temp sensor, and just added a new cold start injector. Auxiliary air valve seems to be set correctly where it is open when cold and closes as it warms (thus fast idle seems to work). Now the car starts immediately when the key is turned and sounds good and idles smoothly. When cold you can give it some throttle and it will rev and not sound too bad. As it warms up, any throttle you give it has it immediately beginning to bog (and spark plugs foul and are dripping with gas) and if you don't let up it will die out at half throttle. Air cleaner is new and the timing is dead on.
Not sure where to go next with this.
